    Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
    Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is a well balanced tool that fits right in the middle on complexity levels against draw.io and Visio. It has a way better set of tools when faced against draw.io, and its way less complicated and easy to use when compared with Microsoft Visio. …

    Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
    Lucid is the most intuitive for me to use, since I've used it from day 1 of its existence, but it has real limitations. Miro has better integrations and automations. I'm using Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite because 1) of its capacity planning capabilities, and 2) because of …

    Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
    Lucid allows for seamless application of theme and design that other platforms struggle with. The number of shapes and design flows is endless with Lucid. I have found that I prefer to use Lucid over a Google Sheet because of the different ways I can present the same information.

    Compared to draw.io, Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is so much better with a more superior user experience and far better collaboration features.

    Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
    We used the free draw.io version. It mostly focuses on cloud architecture diagraming, but it did not meet our needs. In comparison, Lucid is a way more complete solution that can be used across many teams and use cases.

    Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
    Lucid works best for us because the kind of brings everything together in one place. compared to tools like miro or Microsoft Visio, we don't have to switch between apps for brainstorming and diagramming. its easy to use, collaborative, and fits nicely with the tools we already …

    It is not a direct comparison, but both are different uses and specializations. A particular regard for visuals, select Lucid visual due to its competitive, easy-to-use. Examples like process P&ID, Simple process flow diagram, etc.

    Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
    They're very similar platforms, with only minor differences between them. We consolidated platforms in the organization because we were using both Miro and Lucid, and we picked the one that the other teams used more.

    It does what i need it to do. I don't need functions I'm not going to use. I also can't afford to spend a lot (especially when it's not what I want anyway). Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite was the way to go and well worth the money. I never give out 10 out of 10 reviews.

    In my opinion, Smartsheet doesn't have nearly the same great tools to diagramming and project management. Pricewise they were comparable so picking Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite was the easiest pick.

    Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
    I think that many of these tools are great, I use Lucidchart because that's what our company uses. I think Lucidchart is better than draw.io. Canva and Figma are different use cases (for me) than Lucid Visual Collab. Figma I would go to for UI design, while Canva for me is …

    More secure compared to Miro and more flexible / creative compared to Microsoft Visio. Overall, prefer Miro to all of them!

    Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
    Draw.io is probably the closest but not as slick an experience and less collaborative tools (as of when I last used them).

    Miro/Canva/Figma/Powerpoint can all mimic the functionality but are not explicitly designed for flow charting so you're fighting the UI as they want to do …

    While all of the other platforms we have evaluated and some we even use, Lucid has it's own unique solution and aesthetic that we find to work well for us for many of our different deliverables. There is no "One-App-Does-All" solution out there, however, when it comes to …

    Based on my personal experience, Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is head and shoulders above any other competitor. Canva is good, but not intuitive at all. Miro is good as well, but not nearly as appealing and still lacks some of the logical functions that LucidSpark has. I’ve …

    I've used Visio for block diagramming before, but using Lucid is like having google suite and Microsoft 365 in one. We get to make all of our block diagrams as easily as visio, but we get the collaboration and sharing functionality that comes with google suite. It stacks up …

    Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is effective for process documentation and knowledge sharing across teams. For us, we used it to map out individual roles and specific tasks within each role to create clear and visual workflows that others can follow at any time. A key scenario where it works well in our business for business continuity during absences another colleague can pick up the role by following the process on Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite with minimal disruption. The visual diagrams are easy to understand and a written document.

    Pros
    Lucid Software
    • Large number of predefined charts, diagrams, flows
    • A great repository of various symbols and objects
    • The easiness of using and manipulating objects and shapes. There is a lot of auto-editing and adjusting which the software does for you which saves a lot of your time.
    • Easy way of duplicating shapes.
    • While working with the app everything feels organic and natural. You don't get the clunky/limited feeling which happens with some other similar apps.

    Cons
    Lucid Software
    • The sign in page could use some help. When I first signed up, it was really difficult to login, unless I was logged into the perfect Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite software. It doesn’t seem to have a route to get people to the right place if you’re in the wrong place.
    • It’s nearly impossible to move content off of the Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite if you’re looking to get your content into a different platform.
    • Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite requires frequent updates and refreshes of the pages (at least daily).

    I reached out about being able to access Linear through their new acquisition partner, and they kept pointing me to the same article even though I told them it wasn't giving me the information I needed. I asked for a meeting with a CSM and they didn't reach out to help. I've also tried to contact some PM friends to give feedback, but no one seems to care

    Lucidchart is well beyond Microsoft Visio and is constantly improving. Visio is pretty much stagnant and hasn't been improved for several years, Lucid is constantly adding new functionality like AI powered functions and tools. We have no reason to pay for Visio licenses when Lucid can provide so much more for less.

    Return on Investment
    Lucid Software
    • Though I can't necessarily provide hard numbers, I can confidently say that Lucidchart has saved countless hours for myself and my teams as we don't need to try to develop some type of complex diagram using markup or any kind of code.
    • I have previously been able to build a complete ERD using Lucidchart in a past position, which the company never had before. It ended up being used by countless teams in the company and ultimately in a large-scale data stack migration effort.
